Haiku Samples - John W Laird

Haiku Samples - John W Laird

I sought for nothing
But a golden light was seen
Faint in the silence
 

 
Emptiness is not
Nothingness. What a hard edge
Emptiness implies
 

 
How define nothing?
Such the vanity of man
There is no such thing
 

 
In the Cold Garden
I am in doubt of Nothing
Nothing is not there
 

 
I sought for nothing
Despite long search found nothing
No, not anywhere
 

 
Nothing makes demand
For something to define it
So our snake eats tail
 

 
The deep gulfs between
The stars, are not nothingness
Just separation
 

 
T'is nothing, she said
They talk of nothing, they said
It's nothing, he said
 

 
The Cold Garden is
Austerely beautiful. No
Hint of nothing there

The first volume of John W Laird's 'Food of the Gods' poetry series is available for Kindle now. The publication of this first book in the series culminates years of intent from myself as editor to see this work into publication. Life gets in the way of the most lofty of ambitions and this project has been no exception, but now the end is clear and the first step has been taken of which many more will follow. JW Laird is a prolific poet and as such has many fine examples of his work just begging to be released upon Kindle readers worldwide - that is my ongoing project and will ultimately culminate in a print publication, titled 'Collected Works of John W Laird.' As this is primarily a labor of love, a realistic publishing date can only be aimed for and broadly so as sometime between 2013 and 2014.

Enjoy (and remember to share).
